welcomes you to the new, improved website!In this randomized trial involving195 pts from 30 centers, pts underwent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery or surgery alone for stage I or II esophageal cancer. The median follow-up was 94 months. 80% of pts had clinical stage II disease. R0 resection rate and 3-year survival were similar between the groups.
